Finding better ways to bring light to the poor is the goal of researchers like Professor Irvi
30、ne. In the late 1990s, he was working in Nepal when his return flight was canceled. A delay gave him time to take a fourteen-day hiking trip in the Himalayas. One day he looked in the window of a school and noticed how dark it was. This is a common problem for millions of children around the world.
31、Many families use kerosene oil (煤油) lamps. There are many problems with these lamps. They produce only a small amount of light. They are dangerous to breathe. And they are a big fire danger, causing many injuries and deaths each year. Kerosene costs less than other forms of lighting, but it is still
32、 costly in poor countries. Professor Irvine says many people spend over 100 dollars a year on the fuel.When he returned to Canada, he began researching ways to provide safe and clean lighting. He began experimenting with light-emitting diodes (发光二极管), LEDs, at his lab. As a professor of renewable en
33、ergy, he already knew about the technology. Light-emitting diodes are small glass lamps that use much less electricity than traditional bulbs (灯泡) and last much longer. He used a one-watt bright white LED made in Japan. He found it on the Internet and connected it to a bicycle-powered generator (发电机
34、). He remembers thinking it was so bright that a child could read by the light of a single diode. In 2000, after much research and many experiments, he returned to Nepal to put the systems into homes. Now the homes of 25,000 people in 51 countries have been equipped with it. “The one-time cost of ou
35、r system which basically lives forever, as well as the solar panel is less than one hundred dollars. So, one year of kerosene would pay for a solid-state lighting system,” he said. Now his aim is to develop a lower-cost lighting system. In January, Irvine is leaving the University of Calgary. He has
36、 also decided to start his own company in India.56. We can learn from the second paragraph that kerosene oil lamps _. A. cost more than other forms of lightingB. have damaged childrens eyesightC. have wasted only a little fuelD. have a lot of disadvantages57. Irvine connected a white LED to a bicycl
37、e-powered generator to prove _.A. whether it can work without electricityB. whether it can work well with less electricityC. whether it can last longer than a generatorD. whether it is brighter than a traditional bulb58. We can learn from the text that Irvine _. A. likes India rather than NepalB. is
38、 good at making new kinds of bulbsC. is giving up his job in the universityD. is to earn much money from his companyBIn our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” feeling important and worthwhile and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure” finding life enjoyable are not
39、always the sameWomen often are told “You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you cant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children whats all this about wanting a career?” But women n
40、eed to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspectsOne is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depressionMastery is closely re
41、lated to the “doing” side of life, to work and activityPleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimismIt is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of lifeThe two are independent of each otherA woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa
42、（反之亦然）For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, an
43、d correct past mistakesIn the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-beingBut we know that both mastery and pleasure are importantAnd mastery seems to be achieved largely through workIn our study, all the groups of employed women were valued si
44、gnificantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple rolesAt least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles marriages, motherhood, and employment were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnin
45、gs about stress and strain.59It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.Afor women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”Bfor women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”Cwomen cant have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at
46、 the same timeDa sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary to women60The authors attitude towards women having a career is_.AnegativeBpositiveCindifferentDrealistic61One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, _.Ait will be easier for her to
47、 overcome stress and strainBshe will be more successful in her careerCher chances of getting promoted will be greaterDher life will be richer and more meaningful62Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women?AFamily lifeBMultiple roles in societyCRegular employmentDFr
48、eedom from anxiety CHigh-quality customer service is preached(宣扬) by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of retail store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen
49、.Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school.“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers.” Said Paula Courtney, pre
50、sident of the Verde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no longer visit the specific store for every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to nega
51、tive reviews. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered(塞满了的
52、) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty peaking spaces. T
53、his guidance got rid of the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sal
54、es representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.“Retailers whore responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who arent so friendly.” Said professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simple
55、 as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.63. Why are store managers often th
56、e last to hear complaints?A. Few customers believe the service will be improved.B. Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.C. Customers have no easy access to store managers.D. Most customers wont bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.64.
57、Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers .A. can find their cars easily after shoppingB. wont have trouble parking their carsC. can stay longer browsing in the storeD. wont have any worries about security65.What contributes most to smoothing over issues with
58、customers?A. Design of the store layout. B. Hiring of efficient employees.C. Manners of the salespeople. D. Huge supply of goods for sale.66.To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to .A. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directlyB. shop around and make comparisons
59、between storesC. settle their disputes with stores in a diplomatic wayD. put pressure on stores to improve their serviceDThey were going to Fort Lauderdale three boys and three girls and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and s
60、ea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York went behind them.As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, completely in silence.Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnsons, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young
61、people began to wonder about him. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sle
62、ep.In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnsons, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a wh
63、ile, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.“Are you married?”“I dont know.”“You dont know?” she said.“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for
64、a long time, and that if she couldnt stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, well, she could jus forget me. Id understand. Get a new man, I said shes a wonderful woman. I told her she didnt have to write me. And she didnt. Not for three and a half years.”“And youre
65、going home now, not knowing?”“Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, and theres a big oak (橡树) just as you come into town. I told her that if she didnt have a new man and if shed take me ba
66、ck, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and Id get off and come home. If she didnt want me, forget it no handkerchief and Id go on through.”“Wow,” the girl exclaimed, “Wow.”She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and t
67、hree children.Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if protecting himself against still another disappointment.Then Brunswick was ten miles, and t
68、hen five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, shouting and crying.Vingo sat there astonished, looking at the oak. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo slowly rose from h

72、 researchers say.Economists from the University of Warwick, central England, and from Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, looked at data on the mental health of two million people from 80 countries.In Britain, the probability of depression for men and women peaks at around 44 years of age, Warwick Uni

75、ossibility may be that people realize theywont achieve many of their aspirations at middle age, the researchers said.Another reason could be that after seeing their fellow middle-aged peers begin to die, people begin to value their own remaining years and embrace life once more.But the good news is
76、that if people make it to aged 70 and are still physically fit, they are on average as happy and mentally healthy as a 20-year old.For the average persons in the modern world, the dip in mental health and happiness comes on slowly, not suddenly in a single year, Oswald said.
